^ argh, typos =(

@Anonymous: Good one! She is quite oddly attractive.

@Anonymous: Say which, say which!

@AvengerOfBoredom: Nothing weird about that!

@AvengerOfBoredom: I've never seen GoT. But she is cute.

@Kalleballe: She's very attractive, too many people complained she's too pretty for the role. Redheads with a southernish dialect. Mmm.

@AvengerOfBoredom: Southern accent?

@AvengerOfBoredom: yeah I know, and according to the books she is supposed to be ugly :/

@Anonymous: Yep, met a lot of redhead southern girls who talk similar to her. The line's they wrote for her makes her irish accent peek out, thus calling it a dialect rather than accent.

@AvengerOfBoredom: Or is she scottish ... heck I don't remember. Either way she tries to hide her accent.

@Kalleballe: can't see tits or ass, fail.

@AvengerOfBoredom: She's from Aberdeen.

@powerfuldragon: I feel you...

@AvengerOfBoredom: >Psst, long posts means I'm rustled.
Bothered. Not rustled.
>As I said before, I have met and heard dialects just like this from the mouth of females from the Southern United States.
There is practically no regional accent with that vowel set in America. That's a fact. Maybe, you've picked up their questioning intonation (i.e. high rising terminal), which, indeed, is easily found both up British North and down American South. But that's about it. So, basically, either your memory plays tricks on you, or you are just bad at identifying accents. There are plenty of related videos on youtube and none of American Southerners sound like that. And no description of any Southern dialect include features that would make it similar to any Northern British accent.

@Anonymous: I am of course rustled. Responding always means you're rustled. We could carry this one for a long time with me only dropping tidbits, I've been requested by a friend to not to. This is what happens when you make friends on websites such as these.

+ This dialect arose in the inland areas of the South. The area was settled largely by Scots-Irish, Scottish Highlanders, Northern and Western English, Welsh, and Germans.

Almost always, the common thread in the areas of the South where a rhotic version of the dialect is heard is a traceable line of descent from Scots or Scots-Irish ancestors amongst its speakers. The dialect is also not devoid of early influence from Welsh settlers, the dialect retaining the Welsh English tendency.

Researchers have noted that the dialect retains a lot of vocabulary with roots in Scottish "Elizabethan English" owing to the make-up of the early European settlers to the area.

In colloquial speech shall and ought are wanting, must is marginal for obligation and may is rare. Many syntactical features of SSE are found in other forms of English, e.g. English language in England and North American English +

Enjoy using youtube as your source of knowing an entire chunk of the countries dialect/accents.

As for you shadowy lurker, much like Jaqen H'ghar, you owe me one favor.

@Anonymous: I weirdly cannot stand Audrey. I dont know what it is, because she's almost exactly my type.

@AvengerOfBoredom: Thanks for that inspiring Wikipedia quote. Unsurprisingly, the article says nothing on the supposed similarities of modern Southern American dialects and modern Northern English dialects. There are some traits obviously borrowed from Irish and Scottish, but the actress uses Lancashire accent for that role, you know. Those are entirely different things. Just listen to people who speak with the accents mentioned in the article you quote. They don't sound British at all.

Meanwhile, I am an *actual* linguistics major, thank you very much. And I disapprove of this nonsense. Show me just one American who sounds even remotely like a Northerner and I'll eat my University diploma with the sauce of your choice.

@Anonymous: I'm from the south and you're wrong

@Anonymous: Prove it or run along.
